Best Restaurants with a Vibrant Bar Scene in West Newton

We hadn't been to Tempo in many years and were pleasantly surprised. The tuna/salmon rice cake appetizer was tasty. It was a huge portion which we should have shared. Glad that we hadn't placed our entree order so I could scale back. My husband had the salmon very good. I opted for the greek salad with shrimp. My salad was overdressed considering that the deliciously cooked shrimp was more like a scampi. The combo didn't work well together. I would order again but just ask for the shrimp on the side. My friend loved her watermelon salad which looked fabulous. It was her second time having the cashew crusted fish which I would definitely order. Her husband had the wolf fish which he enjoyed. We had a fun time and will definitely go back.

There was some confusion about our reservation for 4. The manager made it up to us with a gracious concession. We were with out of town friends who were impressed and we were pleased as well. Always a good experience at The Cottage!

We always enjoy our dinners at Rail Stop, and last night was no exception. The arancini was delicious. Our party ordered the filet, scallop risotto and corn and scallops. Everyone loved their meals which were prepared beautifully. Our server was friendly and attentive. We will be back.

I adore this restaurant! The vibe is welcoming and lively and the service and food are fabulous!

Great dinner as always. Fabulous food and service. Great neighborhood gem.
